A deep dive into the tech: Byzantine fault tolerance
BFT-style consensus requires multiple rounds of voting and communication between nodes. The more validators there are, the higher the communication overhead, so there’s often a cap on the number of validators that participate directly in consensus.
When assessing a chain’s security, pay attention to how many validators it has and whether voting power is overly concentrated in the hands of a few nodes.
$ATOM is the native coin of Cosmos Hub, a chain that uses a Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus mechanism. Its current price is 1.345.
